SOLUTION GARDEN — PROJECT MANAGEMENT SIMPLIFIED​
Clarity-driven insights to help you move fasterwithout the mess.

✔ QUICK WIN OF THE WEEK

Start tracking your "why" behind decisions.​
Before your next team decision, write down one sentence: "We chose this because..."​
Even if it feels obvious now, you'll thank yourself in three months when someone asks "Why didn't we do X instead?"

🤔 REAL-WORLD SCENARIO

“We keep revisiting the same conversations week after week.”
This usually means your team lacks a visible record. Next time you agree on something, document it in the decision log and circulate it. Instant alignment, zero déjà vu.

🔍 ASK ME ANYTHING

Q: How do I get my team to actually use a decision log?​
​A: Start by using it yourself. Share entries right after meetings or in Slack. When others see it saving time, they’ll adopt it too. Change spreads through proof, not mandates.

🔄 REPEATABLE PROCESS WORTH STEALING

The 15-Minute Decision Review​
Once a week, spend 15 minutes reviewing:

• New decisions logged
• Pending decisions still stuck

Keeps momentum high and prevents bottlenecks.

"Good decisions aren't just about choosing well in the moment. They're about remembering why you chose well when the moment has passed."
